Researchers from MIT have designed and created new waterproof adhesives which can be used to repair ships or to heal surgical inclusions and wounds. The researchers drew inspiration from shellfish like barnacles and mussels, which secrete highly sticky proteins enabling them to adhere to ship hulls and rocks underwater.
A new star-shaped molecule has been produced at The University of Manchester. It is considered to be the most complex molecule of its type to be ever created.
A team of researchers from the University of Swansea have developed a highly sensitive graphene biosensor with the capability to detect molecules which show signs of increased cancer risk.
A group of researchers from Mainz and Darmstadt have established a chemical bond between a carbon atom and a superheavy element for the first time ever. The researchers established a chemical bond between seaborgium and a carbon atom by converting eighteen atoms of seaborgium into seaborgium hexacarbonyl complexes.
University of Arkansas engineers have developed as a new semiconductor material that holds promise for cost-effective photodetectors used in production of infrared cameras for smartphones. This material comprises of a silicon substrate on which layers of germanium tin are deposited.
Researchers from the MIT have succeeded in designing a skin-tight, pressurized spacesuit integrated with tiny, spring-like coils, which contract when heated. Shape-memory alloy (SMA) was used to create the coil. SMA is a material that can return to its original shape when bent or deformed. It has the unique property of “remembering” its original shape.
A collaborative group of physicists from around the globe has found that the curvature of ripples in freestanding graphene can be controlled by the application of heat. This study provides insight into how temperature affects the dynamics of the two-dimensional material.
A collaborative team of researchers have discovered a novel method for synthesis of ultrahard fullerite material. This material is a polymer made up of fullerenes, which are spherical molecules composed of carbon atoms.
A team of researchers have developed a novel method for manipulating the surface tension of liquid metals by the application of very low voltages. This method holds promise for advanced reconfigurable antennas and electronic circuits. The technique is based on the fact that the removable oxide skin of the metal behaves similar to a surfactant, which reduces the surface tension between the fluid and the metal.
Researchers from the Stanford Institute for Materials & Energy Sciences and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are challenging the prevailing view that the rapid charging and draining of lithium ion batteries is damaging and have discovered a new way to think about battery degradation.
